Dr Sakonju didn't follow through on testing she said at the last appointment months ago that she would order at this latest appointment. She is giving my son medicine for a specific muscle disease, but she won't order a test that may diagnose it. She said that sometimes children take advantage of a muscle diagnoses. This particular one effects breathing so without a diagnosis he could potentially end up in a crisis and dr's wouldn't have the advantage of knowing how to help him because she is stalling on testing.
